Facts

Prince (plaintiff) sued after the Law Society of the Cape of Good Hope refused to allow Prince to register for community service and complete the requirements Prince needed to become an attorney. The Society found that Prince was not a fit and proper person to be admitted as an attorney because he used cannabis and stated that he would continue to do so. Prince argued that his use of cannabis was an essential part of his Rastafari religion. Prince believed that he was entitled to an exemption for the sacramental use of cannabis and that the Society should accommodate his beliefs.
